"My res was for 2 people at ~9:30pm on Opentable for Standard Seating and I noted that the special occasion was an “Anniversary”. After waiting for the hostess for 5 minutes and then another 5 mins, she then proceeded to sit us at a booth (meant for 4-6 people) and a few mins later said that we will be moved to a table for 2 soon when it’s available. Weird. We sat there awkwardly waiting and a few mins later we moved to the smaller table and ordered drinks. I kindly asked to remove the plates from our small table since we wanted more space for our drinks. The drinks came and not even 10 mins into enjoying them the hostess came back up to us and said something like “sorry but you need to leave the table if you’re not gonna order food because it’s for dinner only”…. NOBODY said anything about that when we ordered and nowhere on Opentable did it say 'dinner only ' or 'minimum spend ' or anything of the sort. They could 've kindly told us to order food and we 'd have ordered some appetizers. FYI there were 2 other tables available. We said we could move to the bar if there 's space so the hostess went to 'check '. 1 minute later the waitress (not hostess) casually drops off the check, not saying a word, which was extremely rude. At this point we were confused and angry. After flagging down the hostess again I told her that I want to finish my drink and asked why I just got the check. She said she can’t find space for us at the bar but we still have to leave. I have never been treated so poorly at a bar restaurant even though I’m from NY and have been to many bars and restaurants throughout the years. Absolutely no way to treat customers who were excited to be there, enjoy cocktails, and celebrating a special occasion. The drinks are quite pricey too- what a waste of money and time. I am still upset that our anniversary night was ruined like this and will I will never go back to Macao. Fix your customer service in the future or update your Opentable seating arrangements."

"Last night we celebrated my husband's birthday at McCormick and Schmick in Minneapolis. It was a fabulous evening with special menus with a happy birthday printed to my husband at the top. I started with the Millionaire Coffee that was great. Our server was wonderful. She knew the menu well and had a great sense of humor. We had a private stand that made it a little more intimate. We ordered a variety of appetizers from shrimp cocktails to Oysters Rockefeller. All were beautifully plated and tasty. The main courses met all expectations. I had the Ultimate Mixed Grill. The crab filled shrimps and the crab cakes were my favorites. We also had the North Atlantic Lobster Tails, Center Cut Filet Mignon, and I think the Palm Beach Mahi Mahi. All were beautifully presented and were beautifully seasoned and delicious. The desserts were a perfect way to complete a great culinary experience. Because it was my husband's birthday, he got a free Chocolate Volcano. Again, the presentation was great and she disappeared quickly. The rest of us shared the chocolate bag. White chocolate mousse, fresh berries and whipped cream in a bag of chocolate. It was absolutely decadent! We had an interesting conversation with more employees when we were gone. We never felt hurried. The whole evening was great and relaxed. My only complaint is that we were not told which pages came with each main course and did not say it on the menu. That is why we have ordered additional pages that we did not need. Apart from that, it was the perfect culinary experience."
